to continue the bob fights, who wins between duane bob and henry cooper?

This is one where Cooper comes out on top I suspect.

Our 'Enry left-hooks Duane into the oblivion.

how do bob's victims like ledoux and randy neuman and wepner compare to coopy?

Either Sir Henry decision Bobick or stopping him late with his big left hooks.

I think Cooper was better than any of Bobick's victims but Ledoux would give him a fight.

Surprising enough, I pick Cooper by left hook to the chandelier.

I do think you did touch on something here. We should always be skeptical about picking Fighter A to beat Fighter B when he never beat anyone that good in real life.

Cooper schools him in a fashion similar to what he did to Jose Urtain.

Cooper was like 180-185 pounds, and virtually every time he stepped up in class he lost. He was the greatest British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion, no doubt, but he was not necessarily world class.

I think he would go the distance with Bobick, provided that Bobick didn't bust him up and the fight ended on cuts. But I'm not so sure he'd win a decision over Bobick. It'd be competitive but Bobick was bigger than him.

Bobick did beat Chuck Wepner and Scott LeDoux, so he was certainly a genuine top ten heavyweight. It's a 50/50 contest but I suspect Bobick would be too much for Cooper and win a decision.
